Nellie Malabed reached out to embrace Soledad Burgos, 82, on Saturday as Burgos dropped off a financial donation for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines at Cutter Buick GMC Mazda in Waipahu. The car dealership, in conjunction with Lighthouse Outreach Center, Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union and KNDI radio, began accepting donations of food, clothing and money last weekend. The businesses so far have gathered about four shipping containers’ worth of supplies and more than $20,000 from community members and organizations. General sales manager Aiyaz Dean said the car dealership extended its donation drive through the weekend due to the strong show of support.
